Was hoping to trek all the way up to Doi Suthep through the jungle, around 6km or so, then roll back down the road like a spastic, but got a bit misplaced (lost) a few KM up.

The Monk's Trail starts at nice secluded spot behind CMU.

Google Maps: Wat Pha Lat Hike (Monk's trail)

Will get ya there.




Nice of them to put a wee jump at the start for those going up on their moto-x bikes.

A small skip over and off ya lulu.







Vodka makes the time go faster.





Good fun ducking and diving and being bitten by little things that might end up killing you 3 months later.



Aptly named, as the monks hike it going up to Wat Pa Lat, which is also apparently a meditation retreat.


Also just read it's also popular with school kids.

Never mind that, this is man's hike no two ways about it.
